Can AI learn to grade endoscopy quality from video?
NCT ID NCT06822816
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to create a large library of recorded endoscopy procedures from adults undergoing upper or lower gastrointestinal exams. The goal is to use these videos to develop and validate artificial intelligence tools that can automatically detect and report quality metrics, such as how thoroughly the procedure was performed. The library may also help create educational modules to train future endoscopists. By collecting diverse procedure data, researchers hope to build AI systems that provide real-time feedback and improve overall endoscopy quality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial intelligence-empowered endoscopy quality reporting and educational modules
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to AI tools that automatically assess endoscopy quality, improve training for doctors, and potentially enhance detection of polyps and other abnormalities.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it does not test a treatment. The AI models may not perform as expected in real-world settings, and the library's diversity may be limited.
